The Museo ning Angeles (Kapampangan for “Museum of Angeles”) may be found across the Holy Rosary Parish Church, just next to the Barangay Hall. It is run by the Kuliat Foundation Inc., a non-stock, non-profit organization, that depends solely on donations and income garnered from the city’s fiestas. They aim to preserve the history, culture, and traditions of Angeles City through various programs and projects that delve into their historical, economic, societal, and traditional aspects.

The site of the current Museo ning Angeles in Barangay Santo Rosario was formerly occupied by Angeles’ casa tribunal or courthouse during the Spanish colonial era, which was burned down in 1860. The present building was constructed in 1922 and served as Angeles’ Town Hall until 1998. The building was then repurposed as a museum in 1999 with the city jail and a police station converted to a museum office and souvenir shop.

Walking through the museum’s first floor will provide a timeline of Angeles City, complete with historical events, dioramas of traditional life, and the evolution of the city and its people. The second floor boasts a culinary exhibit that showcases the delicacies and traditional cuisine of the Kapampangans. During specific occasions, a culinary master will be available and dishes may be ordered on-site.

If you find yourself in the area of Santo Rosario, Angeles City, be sure to pay the museum a visit to learn of the city’s traditions, history, and culture.
